Subject: Thank Obama for giving Haitian refugees "Temporary Protective Status"
Dear Friend,
Victory! Thousands of concerned CREDO Action members urged President Obama to grant Temporary Protected Status to Haitian immigrants who were soon to be deported back to a devastated Haiti.
January 15th Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano issued the following positive statement:
"As part of the Department's ongoing efforts to assist Haiti following Tuesday's devastating earthquake, I am announcing the designation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals who were in the United States as of January 12, 2010. This is a disaster of historic proportions and this designation will allow eligible Haitian nationals in the United States to continue living and working in our country for the next 18 months. Providing a temporary refuge for Haitian nationals who are currently in the United States and whose personal safety would be endangered by returning to Haiti is part of this Administration's continuing efforts to support Haiti's recovery."
CREDO Action will continue to submit petitions signatures to ensure your voice continues to be heard.
